"How would I describe the contest? Intense? Yes! Fast? Definitely! High Level? For sure! The format of the runs was a bit different then at other contests. There was no division into qualification and finals. 20 minutes were given to five groups of three riders. If you have ever taken part in a contest you know that 1 minute alone can be exhausting. Now imagine 20 minutes! The Skaters tore at their substance which was weakend anyway due to the previous night and were fucked after the runs. However, the advantage of this format was that the long run time gave the skaters time to get on fire and do tricks that needed some attempts, something you normally can't wait for at a normal contest. There were phases were you could literally feel the heat!! It's by far one of the best contests I've ever visited."
